The fiercest race in the friendliest city! Lives up to its tag line in every since of the word. The racing was insane, the course was honest and the conditions were trying! The wall of names! We had the pleasure of watching the women's race on the Saturday in full sun and a stiff wind … Continue reading 2018 Ironman 70.3 World Championship – Race Report
Well the race is run, did I achieve my goals?

I did my best and managed to still compete in both races I had booked in, … Continue reading Monthly Review & Reflect – October
